Sowing what we truly embrace and want to reap!

Once again, a very beautiful and outstanding reflection. Certainly, M Tovey, you've been blessed with a very valuable gift, because your writing is just delightful to read. As a reader and a writing lover, I enjoy reading your comments. Not only for the quality of your prose but also for the brilliant content. Thanks a lot for that :)

And this is not your only blessing since I can see your thoughtful and loving nature. Your partner is a very fortunate one. Definitely, I agree with your insight about engaging in temporary indulgences. In the end, the result of them leads us to loneliness.

I especially like what you state about pride and romantic lust and the incapacity of this thrilling impulse to take us to deep emotional levels. As I mentioned in previous comments, the Islamic mindset regarding their understanding of love lacks intimacy and empathy by allowing all those male's lusty licences. There can never be equality among men and women with such love disparity. For no thing in this world, I would bargain with the experience of deep and true love and their aberrant concept of relationships. And I'm hopeful that what we grow in our worldly life will be what we will find after. What a beautiful way to put the closure in your comment: "Seek the emotional inspirational eternal love on earth to get the idea of what love will be like heaven".

Indeed, M Tovey, Jannah is everything but attractive to me! I truly cannot understand how Muslims live their lives waiting for this great paradise of vice and devaluation. Especially, I cannot comprehend why Muslimahs accept with no fuss this paradise that they will not gain if they're not sufficient obedient, according to their husbands, of course. Again, something must have been wrong with the author of the quranic verses' mind to depict heaven in such terms.
